A neologism I wish I'd thought of
Overheard today at a nearby park bench:
Woman 1: ... and this is where your ethical dilemma lies.
Woman 2: There is no ethical dilemma! It's right there in the Bible!
Woman 1: Oh, Bible Schmible.
Woman 2: Honestly, Helen. Is that the best rejoinder you can manage? Can we possibly have just one discussion without you pulling out the "schmefix"?
that would have been a very interesting conversation to overhear!

Somehow the "schmefix" sounds as reasonable as resorting to the Bible to end all ethical dilemmas.

In what kind of world is reason used to end ethical dilemmae?

But, but the "schmefix" always works.
